Thunderbird is successfully sending emails for a new email account but not receiving them for the account. Can receive emails on the account on iPhone. It's an IMAP account. Server is right. Port is right (993). User Name right. Security set SSL/TLS. Authentication set for Normal Password. Password is same as for sending so know working. Have checked with tech support at host and they say set up correctly on their end. 3 other email accounts hosted on same server are receiving.

Appreciate your help. Thank you.

Check webmail for a corrupted message that is blocking the others, and empty Trash and Bulk/Spam.

I wiped all messages off of the server. It did not solve the problem

Was the account just recently added to TB? Remove it from Account Settings, Account Actions, restart TB, then add it again in case there was a typo in some setting.
